Summer’s officially here and if that wasn’t exciting enough, Sky have got not one, but two huge bits of news to tell you.

Calling all sports fans – get ready to say hello to our new Sky Sports Month Pass. Our new Sky Sports Pass gets you a whole month of the biggest live sport from all 7 Sky Sports channels. So now you can choose a day, a week or a whole month of live Sky Sports from NOW TV. No contract. No hidden charges. The Month Pass will arrive just in time for the new football season and you can grab yours for just £31.99 a month.

Next up, we’ve given our NOW TV Box a slick makeover. Our brand new box is just as small as ever, but it’s faster and smarter than before – plus, it’s a little sexier too. The latest box will also have a handy Ethernet port, giving you more ways to get online. You can still enjoy a world of entertainment on the box, like catch up TV, awesome apps and your favourite TV shows, movies and sport.

You don’t have to wait long to get your hands on our new NOW TV Box – it’s available in August for just £14.99.

£31 per month is around the same price they were charging for Sky Sports on iPad before they got rid of that. If they still had the CL rights I might have been tempted to get a monthly pass now and then to watch that.

I hate this bollocks. There might be more choice now that BT is on the scene but the end result is the consumer getting shafted. No way can I afford both Sky Sports and BT Sport, looks like it'll be streaming sites and MOTD for me this season.

I have a smart tv that can handle Now TV and I've been using it to watch GoT and the last series of Falling Skies. £6 a month for the tv pass (I also got a 3 month for £15 bundle) seems like pretty decent value for me and my sport is taken care of by the free bt sports I get.
